"This is... the will of the gods."
Qian Xunji interrupted Qian Daoliu, spitting out this foolproof, universal golden phrase.
Buzz—
Qian Daoliu, who had been on the verge of a rampage, froze in place the moment he heard the words "will of the gods," as if someone had pressed a pause button.
Qian Xunji struck while the iron was hot, activating his version 2.0 of the "deception technique":
"Father, that girl's martial soul is the Death and Soul-Devouring Twin Spider Emperors, the most evil and poisonous thing in the world.
"And our Martial Soul Hall has always stood upon the foundations of light and holiness.
"The gods sent down an oracle last night: although this girl possesses heaven-defying talent, her destiny carries the mark of rebellion and the omen of destruction.
"If we force her to stay in the Martial Soul Hall, she will inevitably become the root of chaos, and perhaps... even bring about the ruin of the Martial Soul Hall itself!"
Qian Daoliu gasped, his eyes beginning to flicker.
For a man who deeply believed in the existence of the mysterious god behind the "Twelve-Winged Original Sin Fallen Angel," Qian Xunji's words were practically an undeniable truth.
"The gods also indicated," Qian Xunji's lips curled into a dark, "capitalist" smile, "Since her destiny is inherently ominous, why not send this 'star of disaster' into the heart of our enemies?
"Haven't the two great empires and the Upper Three Sects been constantly making small moves?
"Let them have the headache, let them exhaust their resources to cultivate her.
"By the time this fierce beast is fully grown, the one she bites back against will be none other than themselves!"
Silence.
The Elder Hall fell into silence once more, but this was entirely different from the deathly stillness of a moment ago.
Qian Daoliu's aged eyes darted around in their sockets, the rage on his face fading away like a receding tide, replaced by a sudden, enlightened clarity, and even a hint of fanaticism.
"So that's it... so that's it!"
Qian Daoliu slapped his thigh hard and walked forward excitedly, grabbing Qian Xunji by the shoulders.
"The gods are truly far-sighted; their calculations are divine! This old man was foolish just now, failing to grasp the supreme wisdom of the gods in borrowing a knife to kill and diverting the disaster elsewhere!"
"That is not all."
Qian Daoliu had now completely finished his own self-rationalization, his eyes flashing with cunning light.
"If they want to take in this peerless genius with twin martial souls, they'll have to pay a price, won't they?
"We shall use the excuse that 'the martial soul attributes conflict and the Martial Soul Hall does not wish to delay a genius,' and ruthlessly fleece them for all they're worth."
Watching Qian Daoliu seamlessly switch from a "furious, protective grandfather" to a "black-hearted middleman" in a single second, Qian Xunji couldn't help but give the old man a mental thumbs-up.
He was worthy of being the First Elder of the Martial Soul Hall; his awareness was truly high.
"Father is wise," Qian Xunji pushed the boat with the current.
"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. The little girl has just awakened her martial soul and is at the stage where she needs massive resources to build her foundation. I shall write the letters now and send them via 800-li urgent dispatch to the major powers."
"Good! Go do it at once!"
"Understood."
Qian Xunji turned and walked out of the Elder Hall, feeling the breeze on his face, his smile no longer able to be suppressed.
"Heh heh heh..."
I wonder which family will be so "lucky"...
The talent you have been dreaming of day and night—the Martial Soul Hall is providing free shipping to your doorstep.
Are you ready to welcome this living ancestor of the Rakshasa God, who carries the full-level memories of her past life and a brain full of nothing but revenge and chaos?
I hope your sect's foundations are enough for this twin-spider to gnaw on for a few years.
On the other side, Bibi Dong, who was sitting in her room silently calculating how to seduce Qian Xunji into taking her as a disciple, suddenly shivered for no apparent reason.
What is going on? Could that hypocritical beast Qian Xunji be plotting against me right now?
The six-year-old girl shrank into her blanket with vigilance, a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes.
No matter what schemes you have, Qian Xunji, in this life, I, Bibi Dong, will see them through to the end!
She had no idea that her "good master" had no intention of following the standard procedure with her at all, but had instead contacted the courier company, preparing to ship her out of the province.
Inside the Pope Hall, Qian Xunji held a gilded quill, Writing furiously on sheets of parchment bearing the exclusive seal of the Martial Soul Hall.
The content of the letters was much the same, with only one core idea:
Our Martial Soul Hall is a charitable organization full of love and peace, And we have just discovered a peerless genius with Innate Full Soul Power.
Twin Martial Souls, specifically the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor.
What a pity, this child's Martial Souls are of the most evil and poisonous nature, clashing severely with the glorious, righteous Angelic radiance of our Martial Soul Hall.
In order not to hinder the child's bright future, this Pope has endured the agony of parting with a loved one and decided to put this peerless genius up for "public tender" to all powerful sects and empires across the continent.
Those interested, Please bring sufficient sincerity (highlighted: money, resources, spirit bones) and come to Martial Soul City immediately for a face-to-face discussion.
Finishing the final stroke, Qian Xunji blew on the wet ink and carefully sealed the letter.
"Come here," Qian Xunji tossed several letters to the red-robed bishop waiting outside the door. "Eight-hundred-mile urgent delivery. Send these to the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the royal families of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires."
"Yes!"
Watching the bishop's retreating figure, Qian Xunji stretched comfortably.
That reincarnated Rakshasa God Empress, Bibi Dong, is a hot potato right now.
Throwing this "living ancestor" into the enemy's fishpond will not only earn a sky-high "upbringing fee," but also plant a world-destroying mine in advance.
Let this twin-spider, filled with hatred, wreak havoc on other people's foundations. When she grows into a ferocious beast and turns to bite back, he can simply sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
This move is what one calls reaping both fame and fortune.
Heaven Dou Empire, Seven Treasure City.
Inside the main council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the atmosphere was strange to the extreme.
The current Sect Master, Ning Zhen, a middle-aged man with a steady temperament and an imposing manner, was staring with a peculiar expression at the letter from Martial Soul Hall in his hands.
His hand trembled slightly, causing the gemstone ring on his finger to flicker with an uneasy light.
Below in the hall sat two people.
On the left was a burly, thick-featured old man; he was the only Title Douluo currently in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Level 91, the Sect-Protecting Douluo whose Martial Soul is the Iron-Back Gorilla—Yuan Lie.
Although he is called a Title Douluo, his combat power is barely at the gatekeeper level within the circle of Title Douluos.
On the right was a gaunt, deep-eyed middle-aged man; this was Gu Rong, who was currently stuck at the level 82 Soul Douluo realm.
Beside Ning Zhen stood a youth of fourteen or fifteen.
The youth had a handsome face and a gentle, elegant temperament, his fine clothes spotless; he was the future Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi.
"Sect Master, what kind of nonsense did that scoundrel Qian Xunji write in the letter to make your expression look so ugly?" The hot-tempered Yuan Lie couldn't help but ask in a rough voice.
Ning Zhen took a deep breath and slapped the letter onto the table:
"See for yourselves. Martial Soul Hall claims they have found a peerless genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls.
Because the Martial Soul attributes are highly poisonous spiders, which clash with the attributes of Martial Soul Hall, they now intend to... give her away."
